Street Fighter 5's six secret DLC characters may have already leaked

We already know Street Fighter 5 will get six DLC characters in its first year after release, but you can stop trying to identify those silhouettes now. Members of the Shoryuken forums have extracted a bounty of details from datamining the latest beta, and they've revealed seven very likely candidates to join the Street Fighter 5 roster.

Along with voice files naming Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and the rest of the confirmed fighters are six previously featured world warriors: Alex, Guile, Ibuki, Balrog, Juri, and Urien; check out the gallery above if you need a primer on who those people are, exactly. That lines up nicely with Capcom's initial plans to release six characters as DLC. There's also a voice file for another, unknown fighter named "Fan," who may be a new character intended for the initial lineup.

Whoever the six DLC characters turn out to be, you'll never have to spend money to unlock them - as long as you keep the in-game Fight Money flowing. Just in case your dreams of "gitting gud" are dashed by reality when Street Fighter 5 hits PC and PS4 on February 16, 2016, you can also spend Real Money to unlock them.
